Abstract

Metastable CaSn2F6 has been prepared for the first time and characterized. It is a well crystalline material that leaches SnF2 in water to give the microcrystalline fluorite-type Ca1-xSnxF2 solid solution. In both materials, tin(II) is covalently bonded to fluorine, and thus carries a stereoactive non-bonding electronic pair. The electrical conductivity of CaSn2F6 was measured by the complex impedance method. The CaSn2F6 material was found to be a mixed conductor (τi = 0.50), with a F- conductivity a little below that of α-SnF2. On heating to 250°C, it decomposes irreversibly to give SnF2 and probably amorphous CaF2 (undetected).
